A couple of things that made me smile today...

'Baby Giraffe' said a word very soon after the first time he heard it. Usually it takes a very long time to drum it into him, and even then, he only says the first syllable! Like Baa is meant to be 'Barney' and it's 'bath' too!

We went for an afternoon walk. 'Baby Giraffe' was in the pram, because I had planned to take him to the far away park, but when Merly started following us, I thought I'd cut the walk short. Merly went around the whole block with us, following like a dog! I was smiling all the way, and 'Baby Giraffe' was fascinated!

I think that's about all. The rest of the day was a bit of an irritation, because 'Baby G' is really pushing his luck with everything. He is throwing tantrums left right and centre.
I do feel that I've gotten a lot better with staying patient with him now, although he seems to push even further, like he wants me to lose it.
Anyway, I'm really hoping that this is a phase; a very short one!

I'm so glad my less-than-perfect canine and I could be part of something that made you smile today!

Haha - how funny that the cat went for a walk with you! Don't get worked up about 'Baby G' each stage presents new challenges, but also has wonderful rewards. Try focus on the good things and remember - 'this too shall pass'...
